El Loco is the best Mexican food I have had in Albany. There have been many dissappointments but El Loco was closest to the good stuff I grew up with in Texas. Its a little pricey but that's always the case with Mexican food anywhere in New York state. The chimichangas are a TexMex staple and El Loco's got 'em, along with the bananachanga twist for dessert. The lighting is dim and romantic for dates but the tables are also kinda close together, if you're going for the romantic feel.
Pros: food quality, menu ingenuity, ambiance
Cons: , tight seating , parking is spotty
